Funny / The Lost Battalion

• The scene where Pvt. Cepaglia and Pvt. Rosen give their new, inexperienced platoon mates advice is this and a Moment of Awesome, given being completely unfazed by an incoming artillery shell as they continue to speak calmly.
  Cepaglia: *holding up an automatic rifle* "This is a French Cho-Cho."
  Rosen: "Chauchat."
  Cepaglia: "It's a piece of garbage, don't worry about it."
  Rosen: "Leave it to Henchman and Hollingshead."
  Cepaglia: "Don't worry about mortars, tanks, and artillery."
  Rosen: "We don't have any of that either."
  Cepaglia: "Basically we're mud crunchers,"
  Rosen: "Gravel agitators."
  Cepaglia: "Infantry."
  * artillery shell comes down very close to the trench, sending the new replacements ducking for cover. Cepaglia and Rosen just stand there unfazed, even when a piece of something bounces off Rosen's helmet*
  Cepaglia: "That's just some traveling salesman throwing iron cigars."
  Rosen: "German artillery."
  Cepaglia: "Which brings me to stuff. There're two kinds of stuff."
  Rosen: "Stuff going out, ours. Stuff comming in, theirs."
  Cepaglia: "Mud crunchers must learn to judge between different kinds of stuff. If you here something that whistles and knocks, that's Herr Whiz-Bang. Get on the ground. Sometimes Herr Whiz-Bang brings along his lady friend, Minnie Waffer."
  Rosen: "Minenwerfer."
  Cepaglia: "Minnie Waffer sounds like one of those whining hot corn ladies on 10th Avenue."
  Rosen: "Nah, it's more like the B.R.T. coming out of the tubes."
  Cepaglia: "The thing is they're real hard to judge. So just hit the ground anytime you hear something like that. And don't worry if it hits you, 'cause they got a lot of other stuff. Like Jack Johnsons, Whimpering Willies..."
  Rosen: "The I-Cans, airplane bombs, machine guns..."
  Cepaglia: "And all sorts of potato masher grenades. Don't worry about any of that 'cause it all comes down to that..." *indicates the fixed bayonet on his rifle*
  Rosen: "When you go face-to-face with a mud crunching heinie bastard with one of these at the end of his rifle, you better stick it in him before he sticks it in you!"
  Cepaglia: "That... you gotta worry about."
